Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid projection algorithm for a countable family of mappings is considered in Banach spaces. The sequence generated by algorithm converges strongly to the common fixed point of the mappings. We apply the result for the resolvent of a maximal monotone operator for finding a zero of it, which is a solution of the equilibrium problem. The results obtained extend the research in this context, such as the corresponding results of Aoyama et al. (Nonlinear Anal 71(12):1626–1632, 2009, nonlinear analysis and optimization, Yokohama Publishers, Yokohama, pp. 1–17, 2009), Solodov et al. (Math Program 87(1):189–202, 2000), Ohsawa et al. (Arch Math 81(4):439–445, 2003) and Kamimura et al. (SIAM J Optim 13(3):938–945, 2002).
